hasfor Tits objectthe provisionof af simple -deviceto overcomecertain practical ebieetiens toi eed; Tcl-@feds in, the .rfeelt style of siphoningdevices utilizedfor like Y ,fr rther oliject` ofthe `invention is the of a rubber tube and anelasticrubber "cup at the outlet end of the s iphon. tube,.fwhich Y cup is adapted. to; be slipped over ahot' Water.V

faucet so that -hot Water" can be forced f through the tube,1af.ter use, for cleansing the VKtube by thev force or pressure of. the Water passing through the tube.

o furtherobjeet of the linvention is the' provision ofV a soft rubber tube of' such diameter so. that it. may be readily squeezed together nearthe outlet'V end after being inserted into the .milkina'bottld and just prior tdrais'ingjthe inlet end to an elevation at the dividinglnebetween the cream and milk, thereby creating, a vacuum for holding, the. milk.. in the `tube While `Withdravving; the tube (so asl to cause thecream Vto automatically flow throughl thetube `when linger pressurerhas been relieved. upon'V the .tu-be.

to. provide. a device of the class stated, which Will consist of a unit','orone piece, thereby veliminating. unnecessary detachable connec* tions and attachments, such pressure bulbs,cups and the like elements.y

With the abve andother objects in view, theA irrvention` consists infthe novel features of construction, arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter fully described and finally pointed'out'in the claim hereto appended. Y
